Why are ett[] arrays static?

[Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws () gmail com>]

Is it just me or is there no reason for ett[] arrays:

    /* Setup protocol subtree array */
    static gint *ett[] = {
        &ett_PROTOABBREV

to be static?

It seems to me that making it static is just wasting space (keeping the
array around forever)?
